Permanent Pacemaker Implantation

A pacemaker is the implantation of a small electronic device, usually placed in the chest  to regulate slow electrical problems in the heart. A pacemaker may be recommended to ensure the heart does not slow to a dangerously low rate.This normal electrical circuit begins in the sinus or sinoatrial node, which is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right atrium of the heart.A pacemaker may be needed when problems occur with the electrical conduction system of the heart.
